《莴苣姑娘》。作者：基思·科特-马丁、萨拉·科特-马丁。绘者：凯茜·林。 核心问题：莴苣姑娘的人生发生了怎样的变化？

Once upon a time, there was a lonely witch. She decided to steal a child for company. She named the child Rapunzel.

很久很久以前，有个孤零零的女巫。 她决定偷个小孩来给自己作伴。 她给这个孩子取名叫莴苣姑娘。

Rapunzel grew into a beautiful woman. The witch was afraid that Rapunzel would be taken from her. She put Rapunzel inside a tall tower and used heavy stones to block the door.

莴苣姑娘长成了一位美丽的少女。 女巫很担心莴苣姑娘会被别人从自己身边抢走。 她把莴苣姑娘关在一座高高的塔里，还搬来沉重的石头堵住了塔门。

Each day, the witch stood below Rapunzel's window and called, Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair. Rapunzel let her long hair fall out the window. Then the witch would climb up and visit her.

每天，女巫都站在莴苣姑娘的窗下喊道：莴苣，莴苣，把你的头发垂下来。 莴苣姑娘就把长发从窗口垂下来， 接着女巫就会爬上去看望她。

One day, a prince was riding nearby and saw Rapunzel in the tower. Her beauty enchanted him. He wanted to meet her, but he could not open the tower door.

有一天，一位王子骑马经过附近，看见了塔里的莴苣姑娘。 她的美貌深深吸引了王子。 他想和她见面，却打不开塔门。

Just then, the witch appeared. The prince hid and watched her call to Rapunzel, then climb her hair. When the witch had gone again, he too called, Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair, and climbed up.

就在这时，女巫出现了。 王子躲了起来，看着她朝莴苣姑娘喊话， 接着顺着她的头发爬了上去。 等女巫离开之后， 他也跟着喊道：莴苣，莴苣，把你的头发垂下来， 然后爬了上去。
